Are You Represented by One of CREW's 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has identified the 20 most corrupt members of Congress (and four to watch) in its fourth annual "most corrupt" report. This year, CREW has launched a companion website which offers short summaries of "each member’s transgressions as well as the full-length profiles and all accompanying exhibits." The list, displayed below the fold, includes 14 Republicans and 6 Democrats. Twelve are under investigation and one other, Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-NY), is under a self-initiated House ethics committee investigation. [JH]
